A spokesman for Rep. Susan Davis said Monday lawmaker missed votes on two immigration bills taken in the House of Representatives Friday because of a pressing family matter.

The spokesman, Aaron Hunter, declined to provide further details on the nature of the family issue that caused the San Diego Democrat to miss the votes.

The two votes were on a GOP-backed $694 million plan to provide stop-gap funding to help care for the more than 57,000 Central American children who have turned up at the border with Mexico in recent months and are seeking asylum, and one that would derail the Obama administration’s grant of temporary work permits to more than 700,000 unauthorized immigrants.

House Republicans passed the $694 spending bill on a vote 223-189 with four Republicans voting “no” and one Democrat supporting. GOP lawmakers also voted to end the administration’s deportation relief program 216-192 with 11 of its members opposing and four Democrats voting for it.

Hunter said Davis would have joined with the vast majority of Democrats in voting against both bills.

“We are in the process of submitting statements for the record to reflect how she would have voted,” Hunter said.

Neither House bill is expected to become law. The Senate and House have adjourned for a five-week summer recess and there is no sign that the Democratically-controlled Senate will take up the bills, which President Barack Obama has already spoken against.
